Trying to Run 19.5” F450/550 or Ram 4500/5500 Wheels (10x225) on Your F350 or Ram 3500 (8x200)?

Trying to Run 19.5” F450/550 or Ram 4500/5500 Wheels (10x225) on Your F350 or Ram 3500 (8x200)? Here’s What You Need to Know.

We get asked about this nearly every day — so here’s a clear breakdown.

Many F350 and Ram 3500 owners want to run 19.5” commercial-style wheels, often from a Ford F450/F550 or Ram 4500/5500, which use the 10x225 bolt pattern. The goal is usually a heavier-duty look or added towing confidence.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it simple or recommended? Not really.

Let’s Break It Down:

1. You’ll Need a Large Custom Adapter (Approx. 3” Thick)

To make a 10x225 wheel fit an 8x200 hub, you’ll need a custom-built adapter that’s typically around 3 inches thick. That’s because of:

• The bolt pattern conversion (8 to 10 lug)

• The difference in hub bore sizing

• The offset required to get the wheel to clear the truck’s suspension and body properly

This is not an off-the-shelf part — you’re looking at a specialized, machined adapter made to exact specs. Precision is critical here, and cutting corners can lead to serious fitment problems.

2. It’s Not a Cheap Setup

Custom-built adapters of this size and complexity typically cost $2,500–$3,500+. That’s before buying the wheels or tires. It adds up fast, and that budget could often be better spent on wheels designed specifically for your truck.

3. Fitment & Stance Can Be a Challenge

Running wheels designed for medium-duty trucks can result in:

• Aggressive stance and poke beyond fenders

• Clearance issues with bedsides or suspension

• Legal concerns for vehicles requiring CVIP

Our Verdict:

Yes, it’s possible to run 10x225 19.5” wheels on an F350 or Ram 3500 — but it’s not something we recommend. While our company sells a lot of 8-to-10 lug adapters, we do not recommend this type of conversion. There are a few other solutions available for running 19.5” wheels+tires that would be similar or even cheaper in price using options that have been proven reliable and safe, without the extreme stance and potential issues that custom built adapters would cause.

Alternative solutions available:

✅ We offer direct bolt-on 19.5” American Force wheels made specifically for 8x200 trucks — no adapters, no extra work, just proper fitment.

✅ Want the 10-lug commercial look? We’ve got 19.5” ATX wheels that can be run using our 8 to 10x285 adapters — a more manageable and common conversion, with cleaner fitment options.
